Katherine Chi - Piano
Pianist Katherine Chi has performed throughout Europe and North America to great acclaim, including her 2003 New York recital debut, about which The New York Times raved, “Ms Chi displayed a keen musical intelligence and a powerful arsenal of technique.” Her debut last season with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra established her as one of Canada’s fastest rising stars of classical music. “…the most sensational but, better, the most unfailingly cogent and compelling Prokofiev's Third I have heard in years,” said The Globe and Mail.
Chi gave her debut recital at age nine. A year later she was accepted to The Curtis Institute of Music where she studied with Seymour Lipkin. She continued studies with Russell Sherman at the New England Conservatory in Boston, where she received her Master's degree and Graduate and Artist Diplomas. She later studied for two years at the International Piano Foundation in Como, Italy, and at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne. She was a prizewinner at the 1998 Busoni International Piano Competition and was the first Canadian and first woman to win Canada’s Honens International Piano Competition. Her debut recording of works by Beethoven and Rachmaninov was released in 2003 on Canada’s Arktos label. Today she lives in Boston where she teaches and pursues her Doctorate at New England Conservatory.
